“Ted Kennedy died 11 years ago.

Or as I like to say, Ted Kennedy has been sober for 11 years.

Thanks.

I’ve never seen it but certainly know something about it.

I thought it was probably from that movie.

Vote for Pedro I’d’ve got.

From the parent article (it is a good project for that level):

As a science student at Yorktown High School, Alexandria tested the effect of various antioxidants on the lifespan of roundworms, known as Caenorhabditis elegans.

When organisms are under oxidative stress, there are more free radicals (chemicals with unpaired electrons) than antioxidants in the body to neutralize them. Those free radicals react quickly with many other chemicals, and without antioxidants to neutralize them, create cellular chaos. Such an unstable cellular environment has been hypothesized to be responsible for wrinkles, neurological diseases and even cancer.

Alexandria chose compounds with the highest cited number of antioxidant capabilities and observed how they impacted longevity of the roundworms. In some cases, lifespan was prolonged for as many as 33 days, almost doubling the nematode’s normal lifespan. Her findings indicated that antioxidants could potentially help prevent degenerative illnesses induced by oxidative stress.

Look Its as obvious as the nose on anybody’s face at this kid is incredibly stupid and just has a big 👄 mouth Of course with Democrats that’s pretty much all that you need And we’re witnessing in the Democratic primary how they are just trying to outdo each other with the everything is free and come up with new free things every day It’s to the point of Uber ridiculousness And what else do we get? She impeachment where the President of the United States is impeached over a phone call , for which he released the transcript Fortunately what we are witnessing is for those that want to wake up they will wake up and for those that want to believe in nanny state Marxist unicorn fantasies - fine. But then in places like San Francisco you’re gonna have to live with the pool in the streets in the needles on the streets and all the other assorted crime and things like that that result

Wondering... Do these high school science fair participants come up with their ideas all on their own?

My guess is that they receive a lot of guidance from teachers and other people in their research.

Welcome aboard, by the way.

I think it depends upon the teachers and local opportunities. I also think of the process as a pipeline for success in science.

Back in the dark ages when I was in high school we had a chemistry teacher who really encouraged us to do science projects. At the time there were National Science Foundation summer science programs at universities and she encourged us to apply. I did 2 - one at Virgina Tech and one at Florida State. (Decades later my daughter did one at a local university).

My professors gave me some starting suggestions and turned me loose. Grad students helped advise day-to-day work. It was great. These projects became my science fair presentations. My chemistry teacher advised on display and effective presentation. I always acknowledged the support I received,

I ended up working for my FSU advisor as an undergrad. These experiences were helpful in getting into grad school.

I’m not surprised her experiment involved earthworms given that she is on their intellectual level.

John Kerry, Camilla Parker Bowles and AOC all walk into a bar.

The bartender says, “Hey Joe, Call the track. The horses got out again”.

We aren’t lawyers (thankfully). That’s just how it’s done. And it allows people to jump over to twitter and join in.

The judges at the International Science Fair (all are scientists) disagreed with you.

She “made” it to that fair at the exact moment chicks were being pushed for every STEM thing imaginable. She was a minority, in the NE.
She never pursued science in college.

The conclusion on how she got there is pretty easy to draw.
